WNDOW-'MOUNTING concern:

Be it known, that l, ARTHUR C. Sonne, a citizen ot the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco. State of California, (whose post-oiilce address is 226 Judah street,) have invented new and useful Improvements in Window-Mountings, ot which the following is a speciication.

his invention relates more particularly to the mounting and control ot Casement windows, in which the sash is mounted on vertical pivots adjacent to one edge thereof, and slidahly guided on the sill at the loottoin of the easement, an in the overhead lintel at the top; the inner edges of the sash abutting the usual stops in the window fraining, to maire a weather tight joint around the sash.

Among the objects ot this invention are to produce a mounting" simple in construction. easily installed and adjusted;

That is Weather proof; that' will not accumulate moisture and snow in its working parte, liable to Jfreeze and interfere with the proper functioning ot the various parts;

That is architecturally and commercially attractive; and

T hat may he installed hy the average workman familiar with this class oi' labor.

@ther objects and advantages will appear as the description progresses. ln the drawing accompanying' and 'forming part of the present specification, to which lilte reference characters have heen applied, a simple form ot putting this invention into practice is showna l do not wish to he understood as confining' this invention to the. disclosures made in said drawing and description, as inany variations may 'he introduced, within the spirit ot this invention, as defined in the claims succeeding the said description.

ln the drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view looking toward the pivot edge ot a sash having aA sash mounting constructed in accordance with this invention, attached thereto. Better to disclose the details and interrelation of the parts, the easement or window framing has heen entirely omitted trein this view; the mounting' being shown in the position assumed when the sash is partly open.

Fig. 9 is a similar view of the anchor plate for engaging the head of the pivotal stud to hold it in the ixed adjustment heneat'h the guide rail.

Fig. 10 is a fragmentary detail in longitudinal cross section oi`=the adjusting means 'for the pivot of the control arm.

ln detail the construction, illustrated Ain the drawings, includes the sash, composed of the top and bottom rails i and 2., and the side Stiles 3 and il, glazed in the usual inanner.

r"he window ira-ine or Casement includes the usual stool t3 attached to the sill 7, the sides 8 and 9 and the overhead lintel 10, with associated trimming, studding and headers as usual. rThe sill 7;has the level plane 12 milled therein, corresponding in width to the thickness of the sash above it. T he inetal guide rail 13 is fixed on this plane l2, and preferably extends acrc ss the width of the window opening. This rail consists of' a strip et iiat steel or" the proper width and preferably having rounded edges. From the hody ot this rail strip the risers 14 are struck downward, to form the countersunk opening lto receive the screws for attaching the rail to the sill. 'The risers le resting' upon the surface 12 hold the strip 13 elevated alcove the surlace l2. The pivot 16 is riveted or otherwise rigidly attached to the sliding plates l? having the inturned edges lio i ,messes 20 are uptuined to space the surface of the plate 2G downward, equal to the depth of the gioove 22, i'oi'med' in the rail 2 oi? the sash, to receive the connecting plate of the conti-olefin, and to keep the nethei'most edge @inthe sash as neanto the sill as may he, to

noni `nte to the 'Weatheifpioong ofil the sash tins point 'when closed. The surface o the oiate 2U 'appifonnnates contact with the suiiace of, the pla'es 17 when the sashvis mounted on pivot .16, that' engages the sleeve i9 embedded in the sash, the swaged shonlt'ieiq en the iivet engaging the crimped edge oi the sleeve i9., resting thereon and suppoiting; the Weight oi the sash in nivoted action.

The sash is vertically pivot-ed at the top hy the friction shoe 24, engaging the groove in the top lintel of the ifi'amc. The :friction shoe is mounted on the stem 26, guided in a sleeve embedded in the top rail l, and erinined in the'plate 27, similar to the sleeve and plate consti/'action i9 and 2d. The top tail l is provided with the groove 28, similar y to the 'geneve 22, and pei'iorins the same stil, ww

donation the top ott the sash. The gomo s' ie" 29, coniined hetvveen the and the plate 2i', causes the y a iiiotionai 'pressure against op oi the gi'oove 25, in proportion to the on of? the spring 29, 'the purpose of 'which will hefdiselosed latein io maintain 'the sash perpendicular in its A. various evolutions it is pi'ovided vvith conirol arms at the top and bottom. The lower m is pi'ovided with the plate 3l.. pivoted ee'to hy the rivet S2, and provided with the .'"ci'eiv holes 33 hy'vvhich it is secured by Ws to thelovveitail 2, Within the gicoove fgifzropei distance from the ivo'tal. his distance will vary with the oft sash, i The inner end of the navel. 30` is provided with a pivotal stud hsving the enlarged head 35, and ned in the end oi? thelaim hy the redilced sind 3453, eiveted ihthe end oi the arm 30. Some adjustment is necessary to 'determine the proper pivotal pdint for the attachment ei. the contiol arm to the Window frame; this adjustment is provided for in 'the guide rail i3. The guide rail is provided with the A opening 3? to admit the head 35 of the pivetal stud. The slot 3? stante: in this opening; and extends backward in the body of the yguide stiip; the Width of this slot admits the diimeteeoi the stud 3ft, The anchor plate 38 peovided with the opening 39, te reeeive the head protruding through the thickness of the guide rail. This plate is provided with the slots 40, to eceive the screws extending through the holes 4l. in the guide rail, The screws extending through the holes il enter the sill 7, Then the control ai'm 3() and its combinative elements are assembled, with the sash and the guide strip as indicated above, the screws through the holes el are driven down sutliciently to exert a holding pressure between the guide rail and the sill. to rictionally hold 'the anchor plate 38. The sash has now been opened and closed, the closedj'oosition causing the arm 30, now lying parallelivith the :rail 2 of the sash, to force the plate 38, thelopening of which engages the head 35, to the proper position for the relative pivotal cem tei` of the control arm. The `ash is now gently opened suiiiciently to pei-mit 'accessI to the scfewls extending through the holes '41, that are new driven down to permanently clamp the anehoi plate between the rail i3 and the sill 7; the head 35 of the stud revolves freely in the opening 39 that holds the pivotal center of thestud in the proper fixed position, to control the evolution of the sash. lt is obviously expedient to also similarly control the upper edge ofY the sash. This is raccomplished by the control anni 42, pivotally riveted at 43 to the 'plate 4e, screwed to the upper rail l in the groove 28, in vertical alinementwith the rivet 32 of the loweiA arm.. -The odset plate 45 is pivotallv riveted at i6 to the innen end ofthe arm e2. The ends il? of this plat-e ase slotted and adapted to'set Within the groove 25, the depth et which is-equal to the oiiset in the plate 45. This plate is secured to the lintel l0, hy screws extending through the slotted sci'evvs ai'e set tight to maintain this vertical' alinement. v i

The sash thus mounted and assembled Within. the Window framing is opened hy pushing outward on the side 4t; this causes the slide 17 to slide toward the center oi the Window opening, guided by the strip 18; the friction shoe 24 following in alineinent therewith iny the overhead slot 25; the 'i1-iction of the shoe 25 under the intluenceof the spring29, exerting a sliding friction, suilicient to hold the sash in the desired open position againstwind preure or other nluences tending to slaml the sash shut or altei:` its` desired position, except by the intention of the operator, who moves the sash hy oveconing the friction of the shoe, the leverage of the sash and its control mechanism being in favor ,of the operator heniisv lil@

Losses@ dling the sash as described, and against -vind pressure that is exerted throughout the area of the sash and substantially eqnaized from both sides of the operative center oi the control arms in their engagement with the sash.

The control mechanisms constructed and applied to the sash as described, cornpel the sash to maintain a perpendicular position in all of its various evolutions, s

lVhile l have described the sash as operating in a vertical position in a horizontal plane, it is obvious that it will operate similarly on the Vertical plane with the sash in the horizontal position, or in any plane that it may he desired to operate a sash of this character.,

The pivotal latch 48 is mounted adjacent to the edge of the sash stile e, and adapted to engage a recess plate fixed in the side of the window opening, to loci; the sash in the closed position. Vlhis lateh also provides a natural hold for opening and closing the Y sash.

The various metal parts of the structure are sherardizcd or otherwise treated to prevent rust or corrosion,
